( song has been removed)

hey man.

not sure where you're getting stuck. sounds okay on my end. maybe you just got a little bit of the creative fatigue and your ears are tired. maybe give yourself and hour or a day or two to just let it be and then give a fresh listen.

i know on my end, sometimes the initial idea comes on really strong then fizzles, only to return some time later with a more approachable attitude. but that could be days, even months. so, this is to say that it will most likely be finished in its own darn good time.

not sure if this answers your questions, though.

I agree definately worth finishing. I really like the vibe of the tune. The cello is nice addition as well.

Rick

I would say the vox need to be a little brighter. I can't really hear the drums very well, that cello is dominating the mix. The acoustic in the begining sounds too thin. It's a pretty cool Beatles vibe you have going there ;-)

Yes!! Pursue this Kev! That cello sucked me in. Add more guitar in spots to fill out. Oh..you know what to do. If yer stuck, the worst thing you can do is force yourself to finish this. just have a little fun noodling with the git and such and those snippets of ideas will come eventually. I like what I'm hearing so far! This tune would be an nice addition (as it's a little different) to yer arsenal already...

Um, I don't mean to be rude or anything but I think the verses sounds a lot like "Four Seasons In One Day" by Crowded House.

Although I do think the production is very good, and I like the lyrics. The choruses are completely different than the Crowded House Song.

MIKE.... THANK YOU for the listen and advice. I think your right the ears need a rest and I am in that creative fizzle. THANKS AGAIN!

JAMES....I'll give that a try on the vox. I'd like to keep that dark feel. THANKS again for the help and props its much appreciated.

RICK.... Keep the cello, I agree. THANK YOU very much for your support and listen.

JIMMY....You have the best ears on the forum. It does need a bass line I just couldn't make one fit. I thought maybe the cello would fill that space. More low end to the vox, check. Man, it sounds like you have Guitar Center in your house. THANKS AGAIN Jimmy, your help and ears are greatly appreciated.

ROBBY....Drums up, cello down. Fatten the acoustic, that can be done. THANK YOU very much for the listen and the BEATLES vibe.

DAVE....More fill in the intro, higher strings. More separation maybe a change of chords. I see what you are saying. Dave THANK YOU very much for the comments and help.

LARRY.... Yes I do want more guitar but I didn't know if I should stick with acoustic or electric. Then what kind of tones, Aghhhhh. Larry, THANK YOU very much for the listen. Your words and advice are alway appreciated.


BLIPP....I'm glad you said that about the drums I kept taking the verb away, put it back. Put the verb back on the vox also, check. THANKS AGAIN for your help and the props.


DON....Thats not rude at all. I do believe I HAVE STOLEN A CROWDED HOUSE SONG. WOW, do I need to change the beginning of this tune. Its sounds too close for my liking. THANKS for the point well made.

THANKS AGAIN!
Kev

Kev,

This is awesome. One of your best. This is really very cool.....I love the direction your taking....write another verse...a bridge and you've golden.

Luv it.

I just love these guys that predicate their new tunes with how they can't get anything going - then you take a listen and it's brilliant.



kev, finish it - get on with it - I love this.

Kev : very cool song– the cello is a great choice as a dominant (to my way of thinking) instrument here. Interesting, pertty melody and a very British Invasion performance all around. I wish it was a longer song – it’s very moody and it draws you right in but then it’s gone too soon. Love the vocals as well, the harmony is right on the money. As far as adding to this – just follow your gut – the lyric has a melancholy but hopeful message – perfect with the unusual accompaniment. Good stuff.

wow i`m in again and well let`s say i feel, like you do, this is not the kev we know and well you get it, i really felt like everything was dissjointed and choppy, and though i`m probably not the best technical guy to say this but, some sad notes with almost happy vocals didn`t do it for me, i want that guy back , remember the one who we all said there was no way in hell your first song was your first attempt at mixing, what happened to him? please find him? Would the real kev stand up please, come back to us we miss you!!!
Sorry to be the pooper once again but i believe that if i don`t tell you what i think, then i`m not only doing myself an injustice but you aswell.

What did I miss here? Can't find the song!

Well, buddy, I like your act. Good luck!

I appreciate the help and comments from all. I plan on finishing this song from your help and support. But I realize that I need to stop worrying about how many cr#ppy effects, wacky panning, crazy verbs and voices I can add and worry about making good music. Sometimes that feeling gets lost, all so I can stick a half finished song to get a high from the hope that someone likes my stuff. Thats what I love about this forum is the support, the great music, and the true talent that can be found here. Sorry about the crying, now lets make some great music. Oh, I almost forgot I removed the song that started this cr#p.

THANKS for the ears,
Kev

I'll bet there's more than me here that recognizes this scenerio...

Sharing is caring as they say....at least I know I'm not the only one...think of it like the weather sometimes the sun shines and it's great but quite often it is just grey and bloody miserable...

I'd ban myself from being involved with music at all except I just know I'd sneak past me when I wasn't looking to have another go. Sometimes I wished I'd been a footballer instead because the odd broken leg somehow, sometimes can seem the less painful option...
